Loading ...Out Backward by Ross Raisin
Ross Raisin’s first novel, “Out Backward,” shares the same landscape as “Wuthering Heights,” but don’t get the wrong idea. Heathcliff is a mascot these days, not a menace, and the Yorkshire moors have become cushy real estate. Londoners “loopy for farmhouses” have moved up in droves, eager to test the fresh manure in their Wellingtons. Sam Marsdyke, a local drop-out, takes this invasion in stride, even if he feels like a featured attraction. “I was real, living, farting Nature to their brain of things,” he tells us, “part of the scenery same as a tree or a tractor.”
